A. GOOD CHARACTER
j The LiTing Impress of the Almighty's
Image Upon Mankind
BY WHICH GOD REVEALS HIMSELF.
A Mental and Spiritual Quality That is
Easily Becognized.
'THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION'S MISSION
tmuxrrx toe the Disr.wcH.1
"So God created man in His own image: in
the imge of God created He him."
And so there is something divine in man.
Man, made in body in the image of the ani
mals, is in mind and sonl an image of the
Omniscient and Omnipotent God. It is a
revelation -of the dignitj and nobility of
man.
Here is the ground of all aspiration and
tope for man. It is a pledge of progress.
It is the best encouragement of all efforts to
better the condition of men; to uplift, civil
ize, culture and Christianize men. To this
being, fashioned thus in likeness to the most
bigh God, what shall be impossible? Here
is one, say of him what yon will weak,
miserable, the slave of his lower nature,
lar, far removed from "original righteous
ness," almost more of an animal than of a
man and yet, in spite of all (we have God's
word for it) in spite of all, created in the
divine image, possessing heavenlypossibili
ties. ,ln every man, from the saint to the
sot; in every man, though he lie mud-bespattered
in the lowest gutter; in every man,
born anywhere from the palace to the tene
ment, wise or unwise, good or bad,is a spark
of the divine nature. Somewhat godlike
resides within him. Upon his heart is
stamped, however blurred and broken, the
image of God.
How plain that was to Christ! to Him
how evident the divine image of manl
Something good He saw, some possibility
"of better things even in people whom the
religions world of that time despised and
nbhored. He won to Himself the publicans
and the sinners by His long recognition of
possibilities in them. That is the first step
toward helping men. Seek out what is ex
cellent in them; recognize that. Show them
that higher things are possible to them.
Pan the spark oi divine nature into flames
that will
BUEN UP THE TAKES.
Here is the ground of all aspiration and
hope for onr own selves. All efforts after
self-culture, growth, making the most of
ourselves, rest upon this truth: that we have
semething in us which is worth making the
most of. I am made in the image of God.
God is my father. I am His child. "Why
not grow like Him more and more? "Why
content myself with the life of an animal?
"Why fill my mind quite full of thoughts of
what I shall eat or drink or wear, when
higher thoughts are possible to me? I be
long to a divine family. "Why not live as be
comes my position? I am made in the im
age of God. Somewhat of His nature is
Within me. "Why not try to live up to that.
This divine element within us we name
character, the word means a stamp or
seal, the impress of a design or image.
In one place our Lord is called the "char
acter" of God. That is the word in the
Greek, and it is translated "the express im
age," the exact likeness, as an impression
in wax is the likeness of the seal. He is the
ideal of character. He is the model by
which character must be measured and.
compared, because He is the clearest image
of God. He, as man, was most like God of
any man who erer lived. He is thus the
embodiment of all that is highest in charac
ter. Character eludes definition. "We know
what it is, until you ask us. "We can no
more define it, one has said, than we can
. paint the lightnign with charcoal. But we
Jopproached a definition when we say that
.character is likeness to God. Character is
the stamp of God's image on the heart and
mind of man. "We all have character in
some degree, and we all have the possibility
of attaining character in a very high degree.
because we are all made in the image of
God. To attain the highest character is to
become
MOST MKE GOD.
"We observe of character that it is a quality,
mental and spiritual. It in no wise de
pends upon greatness of stature nor stout
ness of muscle. The image o! God is not in our
body,but in our mind and souL In the posses
sion of the power of tnousht; in the longing
which we have, and which no animal has,
for growth, lor higher attainments, for per
fection, in the impulse to self-sacrifice; in
the power to look into the distance and to
see the invisible in such faculties we
discern onr likeness to God. These go to
make character.
"We observe further that character does
not depend upon circumstances. Like great
ness, it is not in the circumstances, bnt in
the man. Indeed character and greatness
are the same thing. A great man is a man
-of character. He is one in whom that side
of human nature is emphasized which is
nearest heaven. That is what we mean
when we say of such an one, not that he is a
great orator, or a great financier, or a great
general, but a great man. Some men have
been great generals, poets, painters, work
ers, but not great men. They have lacked
character. God alone is great, and men are
great in proportion as they are in His image,
like Him. Character, then, is greatness-not
of achievement, but of mind or souL It is
remarked by some eminent persons in his
tory that all the doings and sayings which
are recorded of them do not equal their
fame. The men were greater than their
deeds. Emerson illustrates this by a quota
tion about Hercules. " How did you know,"
some one questions, "that Hercules was a
god?" "Because," is the answer, "I was
content the moment mv eyes fell on him.
"When I beheld Thesus I desired that I
might see him offer battle, or, at least, guide
his horses in the chariot-race ; but Hercules
did not wait ibr a contest, he conquered
' whether he stood, or walked, or sat, or
whatever thing he did."
IT IS 2.0T -EKOTJQH
to say that character is in the man, that
character is what the man is, we observe
' still further that it depends upon the man.
Every man, we say, without a possible ex
ception, is made in the image of God; has it
in him, that is. to be In a measure like God.
Now all awaits the action of the man. Shall
the likeness of God'Jn him be blurred or
clear? That depends upon him. The highest
character, the closest human likeness to
God, lies within the attainment of every
human sonl. Xou can be of such a charac
ter, .you can be so divine a man or woman,
that we will be helped raly by entering
'ijour presence when you speak, better
thoughts shall come into our hearts, base
ness and meanness, even foolishness shall
beimpossible while we are beholding you;
you trill uplift us, bring out all that is best
'in us, drive out ajl that is unworthy, make
us honest and earnest, just -by looking at
us. "When we see you or even hear your
name we will begin to think of higher
things: we will think of God. Ton will be
to us, in a way, a Revelation of God. "We
will draw closer to Him as we approach
you, the image and likeness of Him.
God is jileased to reveal not only His will
but Himself to men, through other men.
Everything may be a indow through which
to loofinto the infinite; but man by far the
widest window. Through Jesus Christ we
see God almost face to face: through holjr
people of all times we catch glimpses of the
divine nature. Abraham and Moses, the

feWe learn better what His holiness, and

an one as these, having such a character,
being close to God, and bringing others close
to Him, depends upon us. We can be, by
God's grace, if we wilL God, who has
made-us in His, image, has thereby made it
possible for us.
Character,we sayyis likeness to God, or if
that seems too vague or high, put it in this
way: Characters likeness to Christ. In Him
we behold a man like us, living the divine
life. Following Hint we learn what it is
for a man to be like God. All greatness,all
worth, all high character is an approach,
Whether conscious or not, to the life of
Christ "Wherein any man is good, whether
in his high purpose or his unstained hon
esty or his love for his felIow,men 0 his
f;entle courtesy therein the man is a little
ike Christ The best that is in you is a
faint reflection of the good that dwells in
Christ And if you would have a high char
acter, and make the most of yourself, and
realize the possibilities of your nature, and
be whst you may be and what God wants
you to be, study the life of Christ. Head
it over and over in the pages of the gospels
till you get it by heart. See how He de
ported Himself; see how He faced trial,
met temptation, encountered difficulty; see
how He used His life; listen to His words;
ask vourself often how would Christ have
acted, what would He have said in this
case and in that, if He had stood here where
I stand.
It is the mission of the Christian religion
to emphasize the pre-eminence of character.
That I know, has been sometimes half-forgotten,
but it has lain at the heart of Chris
tianity all the way through, nevertheless,
this truth of truths, that character is pre
eminent above everything.
Imagine a man reading the Bible for the
first time even the Jewish part of .it a
man with no prejudice, ith no previous
knowledge, who had never even heard the
names of Jew and Christ'an; he might miss
some things which we account important,
some
AETICLES OP OUK FAITH
he might not find; but this at least he would
discover: That the'God of the Bible is a
God of rightousness, and that He who has
made man in His own image, wants us to
L-e like Him. "Where will you open the
Bible, at what page soever, and find any
thing required ot man above character?
"What doth the Lord require of thee but
to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with thy God " so say all the
prophets. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor a's
thyself." so savs the Master: so sav all who
walk in His steps. The Scriptures, old and
new, are ethical to the heart. God insists
upon a right life. "Nothing can take
the place ot it, the creeds are but reasons for
right living; the sacraments are but helps
toward character; the test of the whole
matter of religion is the fruit which it yields.
And as a tree is for the fruit, and not the
fruit for the tree, so is all religion for good
living, and valuable and true only as it
makes men good and brings out the image
of God which is in them.
This cannot be emphasized too strongly
this Christian truth of the supremacy of
character. It cannot be said too often that
no man can be a good Christian without be
ing a good man. Ko adherence to church
formularies, no attendance upon church
services," no participation in sacraments, no
amount of theological faith is going to avail
the man who is not daily striving after
character, who is not to his utmost living
honestly, honorably and helpfully among
his fellow men. "Little children, let no
man deceive you. He that doeth righteous
is righteous, even as He is righteous. He
that committeth sin is of the deril." There
is the clear mark of division. Every good
man is, sofar, a Christian. "Why call ye
me Lord, iord, and do not the things which
I say." "If thou wilt enter into life"
listen: "What is the great essential condi
tion? "What is required of a man who
would enter into life? "If thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments." What
an emphatic declaration of the supremacy
of character! George Hodges.

At a members' meeting held on the floor
of the Exchange at 11 o'clock yesterday it
was agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock
Thursday. New York, Oil City and Brad
ford took the same action. Some of the oil
men voted in the negative on account of the
critical-condition of the market, and the
risk the long interest would incur, but the
stock brokers almost unanimously favored
the proposition, as it would enable them to
swap ideas and probably bring holder and
buyer into closer relations. Business in
stocks has been so unsatisfactory for several
days that any kind of a change would be wel
come. The prospect is good for a stronger and
more active market when the traders face each
other again.

A Fonrth street real estato dealer was asked
yesterday what effect the completion of the
Government building would have on property
in that part of the city. He replied: "1 think
prices will go up. Tbey are already higher
than before the building was commenced.
There is good reason for this. Business will bo
drawn that way, and this is sufficient to en
hance values. A good class of buildings will
be erected, and those already up will be greatly
improved. All this means higher prices for
property. I would not be surprised to see an
advance of $500 to $1,000 a foot on Smithfleld,
below Fourth, within a year after the Govern
ment building is completed, and a correspond
ing increase on adjacent streets. It will have
the effect, also, of relieving Fifth avenne of the
crowds that hang around the postoffice every
evening, to the great annoyance of pedestrians
and obstruction to business. Fifth avenue
would be a better street if it were less
crowded."
The building industry keeps well to the fore,
despite holidays and rainy weather. This Is of
especial importance to Pittsburg, as every
house pnt up supplies a want and adds to the
population. Forty-four permits were taken
out last week; the largest by the Allegheny Or
phan Asylum, for ten three and two-story brick
houses in the Twelfth ward. Tho next largest
was by J. B. Phillips, for six two-story brick
houses in the Twenty-hfth ward. The cost of
the U buildings is estimated at 5108.6S7.
Building and loan associations had their
origin in Philadelphia, where the earliest one
was organized in January, 1831, and they aro
said to have been the means of making 80,000
people owners of real estate. There are, about
SO in Pittsburg and vicinity, and their opera
tions have been very beneficial to the working
people. The number of associations in Penn
sylvania at present is estimated at 900, the ag
gregate capital at 65,000,000, and the total
savings paid into the associations in a year at
over $17,000,000. The total number of these as
sociations In the United States is estimated at
about 4,000, the accumulations held by them at
about $300,000,000, and the amount which will
be paid in the form of dues during tho current
year at about $65,000,000.
The superior attractions of Shadyside as a
place of residence have drawn unusual atten
tion to that pretty suburb, and considerable
property there has changed hands within the
last two or three weeks, the ageregate of the
sales being not much under $200,000. As might
be expected prices are pretty steep for fancy
properties, bnt they are quite moderate for
others, the former Eelling as high as $500 a front
foot Those less eligibly situated are from $50
to $250. This difference affords sufficient mar
gin to suit rich and poor, and to enaole almost
anyone to secure a home in one of, the most de
sirable places near the city.
A Pittsburg iron manufacturer, in a brief in
terview yesterday, attributed the nnsatisfac;
tory state ot the market to the demoralized
condition of the American merchant marine.
That trade is active in England, he said, was
due to the fact that the markets of Uje world
were open to that country, while the United.
States had to depend almost entirely upon the'
home demand, being practically shut out even
.from Mexico and South Amerioa. He added
that as President Harrison was known to be in
favor of improving onr trade relations abroad,
by opening up new markets, it was, probable
that some measure of relief would soon be
adopted. This is a subject in which Pittsburg
has peculiar interest.
The demand for mortgages keeps up and
there is not likely to be an abatement so long
as money continues plenty and cheap. Real
estate affords the best security for the surplus
capital of our citizens, and the fact seems to
have struck homo at last The number of
mortgages recorded during the week was 267,
aggregating $418,543. The largest were for $21,
000, $20,000, $18,000, two for $15,000 each, $11,700,
$10,000, and U for sums ranging from $5,000 to
$9,000 each. The usual rates were 4f5per
cent, but in a few cases 6 was accepted.
PHILADELPHIA WEAK.

There was no special movement in any of the
local stocks yesterday. The leading features
were increased strength in Wheeling Gas and
weakness in Philadelphia, the former advanc
ing to 33 and closing strong at that figure, and
the latter falling off to 41K- It was afterward
offered at 4l without purchasers. The pros
pective extension of the Philadelphia mains tp

80J1ETHIKG GOING ON.
Facts and Figures Thnt; Tell a Story of
Wonderful Activity.
Last week's business at the banks was suffl
clently large to show that there is something
going on in Pittsburg besides sitting around
and complaining that "the times are awfully
dnll " While industrial and commercial activ
ity is no?so pronounced, to jndge merely from
surface indications, as in some former seasons,
there is a largo movement constantly going for
ward in all departments of trade that piles up
a huge aggregate or cash and keens everybody
busy to keep up with engagements. There has
never been a time in the history of the city
when business was in a healthier condition or
rested on a more satisfactory basis than it does-to-day.
To establish this statement beyond
cavil a few figures may be quoted. Here they

Tho Lons Adjournment Throws the Oil Mar
ket Into a Chaotic Condition.
The oil market was in a chaotic condition
yesterday, and while there was no particular
excitement the anxiety growing out of the
long adjournment from yesterday noon until
Thursday was very pronounced. With tha
bearish outlook in the field and other uncer
tainties, and with the market on the decline,
the main risk growing out of the recess, It was
thought was mainly against the longs, who
did not take advantage of selling at the top.
On the other hand, the shorts hajl no special
difficulty In getting all tho oil they wanted at
flat to 25 cents, showing abont the same condi
tion as prevailed on the decline from 90 to 80,
part of which time the longs had to pay from
25 to40 cents for carrying. Taking all, things
into consideration, it was the.opimon of some
of the most experienced brokers that tbe sus
pension would work no particular harm to tho
Bhort interest and might improve it Many of
the brokers opposed tbe adjournment but the
Governor ot New York having declared on
Friday that Wednesday wonld be a legal holi
day in that State, it was forced on Pittsburg,
it being too late for the other exchanges to re
consider their action and leave the exchanges
open on Monday.
As anticipated, the market opened off from
fc to Kc all along tho line. The first price
here was 85c. but it was almost immediately
hammered down to 84c, and fluctuated be
iween inab point auu coc umu near ino close,
when It weakened to 81Kc. JJc below the open
ing, where it stood at the finish. Trading in
puts and calls indicated considerable doubt as
to which side of the market would profit by the
shutdown, both being apprehensive of a snake

HOLIDAY HEDGING.
Liquidations on Both Sides of tho Stock
Market Completed for tbe Holla
days AtFirm ToneWltb n Close)
at tho Best Prices.
New Yor; April 27. The trading on the
stock market was the smallest for any Satur
day for a long time; and the changes in quota
tions were on a similar scale, although a stroug
tone was! developed and most stocks traded in
were left fractionally higher than last evening.
The advance, at the board -was small and the
holidays seemed already to have begun, as the
Interest In the speculation was reduced to tbe
smallest limits and the liquidations on both
sides of the account seemed to have been com
pleted.
The heaviness of last evening, however, was
carried over to this morning, and first prices
were from to per cent lower than last
night's figures. The subsequent dealings devel
oped a little business in Atchison, Union Pa
cific and Reading, but the fluctuations were
confined to per cent,and sbowed no tendency
in cither direction, and the market settled
down to utter stagnation.
Toward the close, however, there was a
renewal of tho buying apparently for foreign
accountand Pullman and Xoulsville and Nash
ville showed marked strengtb, tho former
movinsr ud about 2 per cent and tbe latter 1
per cent, from its lowest point The movement
exieuucu w u purnuua ui tuo usk,uuncvci,
and though tbe trains wore confined to .small
fractions, the market closed firm though dull
at about tno oest prices reacneu.
The dealings in railroad bonds were on a
somewhat more liberal scale than those in
shares, bnt the total transactions were only
$890,000.; The tono of the dealings, however,
was rather mixed, and important changes are
few in number and principally among tbe In
active issue. Tbe Wabash Issues were the
strong point in the list. Among these which
are hizher. Keokuk and Des Moines flrst3 rose
2, to 105: Jersey Central convertibles, 3, to
12Si; Wabash seconds, 4, to 100, and the con-
vertiDie xoceipts, z, 10 iuu. xue iinaea luciuut;
Denver and Rio Grande Western assented, SU,
to 85.
The sales of bonds for the week were materi
ally larger than those of last week, being $12,
761,000 against $5,036,000.

WHY HE WILL TALK.
A Good Reason for Making a Public
' Statement.
TBE CASE OP A BOSTON MM.
The Boston Traveller, under data of Jan
uary 12, 1889, has the following:
"Yes, I am perfectly well now, but I
would not for anything be in the condition
again I was in a short time ago."
The speaker was Mr. S. Weisbrod, whom
the writer found at his residence, No. 107
Warwick st.
"At first," ha continued, "I noticed that
I was constantly catching cold, but later I
seemed to have a cold all the time. My
nose wonld be stopped, and there was a con
stant discharge from it. I could feel the
mucus dropping back into my throat.
JuV. 8. Weisbrod, 107 Warwick BL
"I was continually hawking and spitting,
especially the first three or fonr hours after
gettinz up in the morning. Physicians told
me my trouble was catarrh. My nose and
throat got so bad, and the disease was so
disagreeable, that I tried in every way to
get rid of it, but got only slight temporary
relief. -
"I noticed that I had a heavy, racking
congb, which kept gradually getting worse.
It became hollow, and would be especially
bad in the morning. Any change in the
weather would cause my head and throat to
stuff up and my cough to annoy me more.
At night I had smothering spells, and
wonld have to sit up in a chair for' hours in
order to get my breath. There was a feeling
as though something was bonnd so tightly
around my chest that X could n6t breathe.
I was afraid I had asthma.
"I kept losing in flesh and growing thin
ner. My cough became hollow and more
persistent, and I could not walk even a
short distance without getting out of breath.
''My friends have since told me that they
thought I had consumption, and that they
never expected me to recover.
"A .short time ago, having read the state
ment of an acquaintance in the papers, I de
cided to place myself nnder tbe care of Dr.
Blair and his associates. I will simply say that
the result was at surprise to myself and my
family, and that I now feel well and strong.
All tbe disagreeable symptoms of my disease
have left me, and Ihave gained in strength, and
weight." i
On handing the above notes of what he had
said to Mr. Weisbrod, be remarked:
'It may sound like an exaggeration to soma
who have not-been through what I have, but
that is exactly how I felt, and I will willingly
state so personally to any one. 1 make this
statement because I am pleased with my re
covery." A DANGEROUS WAT. .
Trodden br many, Perhaps, Without Know
ing It.
When catarrh bas existed in the head and
upper parts of the throat for any length of
time, the, patient living in a district where
people are subject to catarrhal affection, and
the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh

invariably, soaetimes slowly, extends dowil
the windpipe and into the bronchial tnbaalf
which tnbes convey the air into the di ffereat j
parts of thelungs. The tubes become affected"!
from the swelling and the mucus arisisgl
from catarrh, and in some instances becoaa i
Bluggednpso that the air'cannotgetiaasj
freely as it should. Shortness of breath "1S
lows, and the patient breathes with laDofj
and difficulty. 1
In other cases there is a sound oi cracklBjt
and wheezing inside the chest. At thfip
staee of the disease the breathincr is usually
more rapid than when in health. Tha paa
tient has also hot flashes over his body. "3
The pain which accompanies this coadi
tion is or a dull character, felt In the chet,
behind the breast bone or nnder the shoulJ
last a few days and then be absent for sev-
eral others, -the cough that occurs in tnaq
first stages of bronchial catarrh is dry,,'!
comes at intervals, Is hacking in character A
and usnally.most troublesome in the morn j
ing on arising or on going to bed at nigljl
ease extending in the lungs. JJ-
At first there may be nothing brought tra
by the cough; then there is a little tough,
tenacious mucus, wnica ma paueiit ouua -great
difficulty in bringing np. '
Sometimes there are fits of coughing in j
duced by the tough mucus so violent as to j
cause vomiting. Later on the mucus that is
raised is found to contain some particles of'j
yellow matter, which indicates that tha "4
small tubes in the lungs are now affected. j
With this there are often streaks of blood
mixed with the mucus. In, some cases tha s
patient becomes very pale, Has fever and ex-
pectorates before any cough appears. -m
w In some cases small masses of cheesy sub
stance are spit np, which, when pressed be I
tween the fingers, emit a bad odor; in other -
cases partrcles of a hard, chalky natnre are V
spit up. The raising of cheesy or chalky
lumps indicates serious mischief at work in '
the lungs.
In some cases catarrh will extend into tha
lungs in a few weeks; in other cases it may 1
be months, and even years, before the dis
ease attacks the lungs sufficiently to causa
serious interference with the general health. -When
the disease has developed to such a ,
point the patient is said to have catarrhal J
consumption. With bronchial catarrh there '3 -more
or less fever, which differs with tha differ
ent parts oi tne aay sngnt in tne morning,
higher in the afternoon and evening.
Sometimes during the day tha patient has a.
creeping, chilly sensation, which may last from
half an hour to an hour, the surface of tha
body feeling dry and hot. During the night,
near the morning; there may be sweats. Such,
sweats are known as night sweats.
The pulse is usually more rapid than normal,
and the patient loses flesh and strength. A
fresh cold is all that Is needed at thi3 point to
develop rapid consumption. In some instance
the natient loses strength and flesh slowly. '
The muscles gradually waste away. Then tha j
patient gradually regains soma of the strength
only to lose it again. I
A weak stomach and a dislike for food, which; i
seems to have lost its taste, cause tha patients
to think that he nas a disease at the stomach I
instead of thelungs. With these diarrhea uju
allv occurs and there is the same disturbance
of the kidneys. In bronchial catarrh the voice

is a burning pain in tho throat, with difficulty
in swallowing.
